I too spend a significant portion of my time teaching although these days it is generally for free. I felt I needed to get up to speed on the latest Office so bought the Home & Student edition. I installed it on my laptop and was immediately put off by what appeared to be major changes for the sake of change so left it until I needed to use it. I was then asked to give a talk to our local U3A computer group on Office 2007 so realised I had to spend a little more time and effort on it. Once I understood the underlying principle of the ribbon I found it much easier to use. I'm still climbing the learning curve but I'm very impressed with most of it - don't particularly like the available colour schemes though :-)
